GREETING. 



It is with a deep sense of feeling and gratitude that 
we extend a most cordial greeting and welcome to those of 
our friends who have favored us with their presence and 
patronage on this occasion of our Third Annual Games and 
Reception. 

Athletics occupies an important place in the curricu- 
lum of the soldier, and once a year we hold this, a sort of 
Graduation Day, that we may show to those interested just 
what has been accomplished in a twelvemonth 

We confess to being believers in the principle of a "sound mind in a sound 
body," and here to-night we are anxious to show an exemplification of it. 
There is no finer sight, in our opinion, than this struggle for the mastery amongst 
clean limbed young athletes, and this alone should be sufficient excuse for the 
holding of a set of games. 

In the half of the programme devoted to the recreation of dancing we hope 
all present will enjoy themselves to the limit of their several abilities — without 
their kindly cooperation the games could not have been held — and we deeply 
appreciate their presence here to-night. Our thanks are also due to those who 
have assisted our advertising manager with their patronage. We do thank them 
and wish them every success. 

To the young men who are with us this evening and who have not as yet 
become members of the National Militia, we extend a cordial invitation to join 
Company I. A large standing army is contrary to the genius and ^'raison 
(Vetre'" of a republic, hence our country must and does depend upon the citizen 
soldiery for defence in time of war. It therefore becomes the duty of all men 
fit for military service to prepare themselves to march under "Old Glory" if the 
necessity arises. In the National Guard there are many pleasant social features 
which should be an additional attraction to enlistment. Next year our organiza- 
tion will perform its bi-annual tour of camp duty, and we desire a number of 
recruits that we may make a strong showing at this approaching time. 

Again thanking all who have contributed in making this evening a social 
and financial success, we beg to remain, 

THE COMMITTEE.

^^,5t^MUSIC BY THE 47th REGIMENT BAND^^.^<^ 

Games Begin at 9 P. M. Sharp. 



During the Quarantine Riots in 1892 a <letachment of the 47th Regiment, 
inckiding Company I, did duty at Fire Island, and again in 1895 the organiza- 
tion did duty during the great Trolley Strike in Brooklyn. 

At the outbreak of the war with Spain, the 47th responded to President 
McKinley's first call for volunteers and proceeded to Camp Black on May 2d, 
1898. It was mustered into the United States service May 24th. In June the 
regiment was ordered to Fort Adams, near Newport, R. I., and on October loth, 
1898, it embarked on the U. S. Transport "INIanitoba" for Porto Rico. It 
arrived at Ponce, P. R., on October 15th, 1898, and went into camp about three 
miles back of the city on October i8th. During the first night in camp the 
sentries were shot at and they returned the fire. The long roll was sounded, the 
call to arms, and all fell in ranks, but were soon dismissed. On October 21st 
the command broke camp and re-embarked on the U. S. Transport "Chester" 
and the various companies were sent to different stations; Company I going to 
Abonita, a town near the Abonita Pass, the highest point on the island, near 
which the battle of that name was fought. To reach Abonita the companj- 
marched from San Juan, a distance of about fifty-six miles, in less than three 
days— this bearing eloquent testimony to the morale and discipline of the men. 
In ^larch, 1899, the company marched to Guayama, and was again embarked on 
the U. S. Transport "Manitoba," or the "Logan," as she was now called, and 
returned with the regiment to Brooklyn and were mustered out of the United 
States service March 31st. The 47th is distinguished with the 12th and 71st as 
the only regiments in the National Guard of New York which have done duty 
on foreign soil. On leaving Porto Rico the regiment was officially praised for its 
excellence by Generals Henry and Grant, under whom it had ser\'ed. 

The 47th Regiment has always responded instantly to the calls to duty in 
the spirit of its motto: "Ducit Amor Patriae," and, with its companions in arms, 
was publicly thanked by the civil and military authorities for its promptness and 
excellent conduct in service. JOS. DESCH, ist Sergt.
